Get To Know Us
Women-Led. Lived Experience. Shared Purpose.
At the heart of My Wellbeing Space CIC is a women-led team united by a shared commitment to creating positive change for women, children and young people.
Founded by Angela Cousins, alongside Director Jade Bascom, My Wellbeing Space was shaped by lived experience and an understanding of the barriers that can prevent people from accessing the support and opportunities they need.
Since launching in February 2023, we have grown into a community organisation delivering programmes across wellbeing, education, youth development, violence prevention and accredited learning.
Our work is strengthened by our team, volunteers, community, funders and partners, who share our commitment to creating safe, inclusive spaces and meaningful opportunities for people to thrive.

🩷 Experience. Expertise. A Passion for Wellbeing
Angela Cousins is a highly accomplished and multi-talented professional whose qualifications and experience make her a cornerstone of My Wellbeing Space CIC. She holds a BSc (Hons) in Sports Rehabilitation and is certified as a Life Coach, Holistic Wellbeing and Personal Trainer Practitioner (CIMSPA), Sound Therapist and Reiki Master. Angela’s credentials extend further with specialist qualifications in Mental Health, Disabilities, and Holistic Wellbeing, equipping her to address diverse and complex needs.
With an extensive career spanning over 25 years, Angela has built a remarkable portfolio of health and wellbeing projects, initiatives, and campaigns. Her expertise has primarily focused on working with special populations, tailoring interventions to support individuals with mental health conditions and disabilities. One of her most memorable and impactful projects was leading the Race for Life Campaign, a nationwide fundraising event that raises critical funds for women with breast cancer.
Angela’s professional accomplishments are deeply enriched by her personal journey. As a mental health survivor, she battled mental ill health for over 20 years. Through resilience and a holistic approach to recovery, Angela transformed her life and now thrives as an advocate for mental health and wellbeing. Her experience has given her a profound empathy and a desire to "pay it forward," helping other women navigate their challenges and find their own paths to healing.

As a mother, Jade finds joy in being a positive role model, offering guidance and support to those in her care. She knows first hand the importance of nurturing and providing a safe environment from a young age and throughout all stages of development.
